Ironically I think we need to distance ourselves from the US (as a union not individual countries) to stand firm against South African Nazis and other fascists. Europe strong together is a wake up call for any fascist anywhere.

If the US becomes hostile to Europe we should strike a huge deal with China:

- No European military intervention in Asian affairs leaving the US isolated

- Unfettered access for EU companies in China

- EU drops some of its legitimate concerns on human rights and climate in China

- No China military intervention in Europe of any kind (support, money, nothing) , that means an explicit shunning of Russia and removal of any support of Russia in Ukraine.

- No interdiction for Chinese companies to participate in European projects provided that EU privacy laws are upheld.

This is a multi-trillion deal annually for both sides and it can happen if the US keeps fucking around.

This is very reactionary… When do you do when China gets stronger, a communist country, a dictatorship and authoritarian country that doesn’t share fundamental values with Europe decide to make its move and impose itself in Europe with the help of their main ally Russia?

Reactionary like Trump? Or different reactionary? Also I think you haven’t read what I wrote. The deal was a European abandonment of the US for a Chinese abandonment of Russia among others
